What roles can and should women play in peacemaking movements? How can we connect the struggle for justice across contexts in a way that furthers the work of mutual flourishing and collective liberation? What does it mean to be an effective ally, advocate, and friend?
This week, we are joined by our friend, author, preacher, trainer, liturgist, activist Sandra Van Opstal. Sandra is the Co-founder and Executive Director of Chasing Justice, a movement led by people of color to mobilize a lifestyle of faith and justice.
Sandra recently joined the And Still We Rise Conference put together by our friends at CMEP, a conference intentionally created by and for women. After two trips to the region this year, one with Telos in May, and this recent one in November, Sandra shares with us what it looks like to be an effective advocate for our friends in Israel/Palestine, especially in this horrific moment.
